Wengsky asked:


My father was a permanent resident and was receiving social security benefits when he died in 2005. My mom asked the US embassy of the Philippines if she could received a pension, they answered that she should be present in the US to receive that benefit. Can I received it for her behalf since I am here in TX as permanent resident?
